Abstract
This study presents the results of an archaeology study about surface collection and
in stratigraphy lead in four rock-shelters from Nkolandom region (southern
Cameroon forest). It has been carried out through research cooperation between the
ministry of higher education and the University of Yaoundé I. The first drill holes
made in Nkolandom rock-shelter provide new information’s about space
occupation in the three likely phases. The first sequence could be the Late Stone age

which manifests itself through the presence of lithic such as erasing, knife/scraper-
eraser, splinter and nibs. The second sequence, probably the Stone age unfolds

through coarsened earthenware characterized by impression from small card and
small wheel plaited. The third sequence concerns the ongoing period through oral
sources linked to the settlement of Bulu (Ndong clan) in that locality.
